About

BACKGROUND

My experience includes private practice and working at a well-respected poly-addiction residential treatment center. While there, I worked with a multidisciplinary team of leading experts in trauma, substance abuse and addiction, and sexual compulsion and addiction.

To further my expertise, I trained under Pia Mellody, Senior Clinical Advisor of The Meadows, for treating family of origin developmental and relational trauma using Pia's Post Induction Therapy model.

I am trained in EMDR protocols for addiction, trauma, and dissociative identity disorder, and I recently completed my training as a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner (SEP). Under sex addiction pioneer Patrick Carnes, I earned my accreditation as a Certified Sex Addiction Therapist (CSAT) and Certified Partner Trauma Therapist (CPTT) through the International Institute of Trauma and Addiction Professionals.

I have received 32 hours of specialized training in the Multi-Dimensional Partner Trauma Model through The Association of Partners of Sex Addicts Trauma Specialist, to better serve partners of sex addicts and couples who are in their healing process.

My licensure includes Texas Licensed Professional Counselor Supervisor (LPC-S) and National Certified Counselor (NCC). I previously served as Treasurer on the Board of the Texas Association of Addiction Professionals, Dallas Chapter (TAAP). I currently serve on the Board of the Twelfth Step Ministry at the Benton Center for Spiritual Development.

PERSONAL FOCUS

Growing up in a family with a history of trauma and addiction, then experiencing divorce and single parenthood as an adult, was what first prompted me to seek transformational counseling for relational trauma and issues with codependency. As a result, I gained self-awareness, compassion, sensitivity, and interest in others that would lead me down my career path.

My priority is to be a conscientious professional who strives to gain a deep understanding of the concerns of my clients and the implications for their lives. In addition to being a competent scholar, I bring a life experience that provides intangible qualities to assist my clients in their own growth and recovery.

I am also passionate about sharing my experience and education with budding therapists through site supervision and mentorship of master-level counseling students, as well as supervision for graduates who are newly minted LPC-Associates.
